Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is the ultimate gas station for space travel: it has huge lakes of fuel, 300 times more than all the oil on Earth.

During the French Revolution, Christianity was officially replaced by the worship of logic.

During the "Feast of Reason" in 1793, churches were converted into "temples of wisdom", and the Christian crosses were replaced by living women (some with minimal clothing), representing reason and freedom.

Religion was reduced quickly: in 1794 all its leaders were executed by guillotine
